Will the Android brand be abandoned by Google? Foreign media took another clue
October 13 news Google has launched the official Android messaging app a long time ago, this application is also the default SMS application on many native Android phones. Recently, Google quietly renamed the app, foreign media PhoneArena believes that Google is completely downplaying the Android brand.

When the SMS app was first released, the name “Messages” was used. But since the name is easily confused with Facebook’s “Messenger” app, Google has renamed it “Android Messages” two years ago. Now Google has deleted the “Android” in the name, which is somewhat intriguing.

Although this change does not involve the Chinese name (still “information”), and it has previously been shown as “Messages” in the application drawer secondary menu, it is hard to detect. IT House reported earlier, Google did not talk about the word “Android” at the Pixel 3 new product launch conference. Many foreign media believe that Google is giving up the “Android” brand.

Foreign media also reported that Google hopes to phase out the Android brand in the near future, but it was opposed by some internal officials. With the exposure of the new operating system Fuchsia OS, there has been a view that Google will replace Android with this new system in the future.
